Trump really wants a civil war?
Yes. Well just a war. So he can declare "marshal" law. And keep power. Forever.
Fascists never hold power long. Too incompetent, too focused on fucking kids.
No, this is Stephen Miller whispering wormtongue bullshit in his ear.
Judges across the nation will fight this because it's mere existence would snarl up our judicial system to a point it would break entirely.
What Miller is doing is introducing this as an idea, a concept, he is trying to make everyone shocked at the idea now, so that when he reintroduces in four months, rebranded and made to sound far more bureaucratic and "boring" people will react less to it. This is what he's been doing for years with us, but as Trump has fallen under the malaise of the Dark Lord and his countenance grown dim, Miller has been able to pump the gas harder on his own plans. That's why so much batshit stuff is going on lately, it's mostly Miller and likely a few other corpo-fascists around him just high on power and drugs, lots of drugs.
He isn't smart enough to understand that it strips away the civility that protected him.
Also, we can't do a civil war even if everyone wanted it, we don't have clear lines and we don't have separate militaries. What Trump/Miller is gambling with is a an armed coup so he can deploy deadly force and start doing what Miller in particular has been thirsting for ever since the first time his mother tried to drown him. (I assume.)
The American people would have to actually stand up for themselves for a civil war to start.
They won't, just like the Germans. The rest of the world is going to have to put America down.
That isn't going to happen.
The American people are going to have to do this themselves. There's no one coming to save them.
America lost in Korea, lost in Vietnam, and lost to goat herders in Afghanistan. But sure, lol.
Their military is like their healthcare, they spend the most but it's dogshit. Plus, they are more incompetent then ever.
Realistically the americans lost in those wars because the presidents at the time actually wanted some kind of spiritual victory rather than just flattening those countries into dust with sustained carpet bombing of any and all artificial structures (At least not the whole country) I doubt Trump would have any issues or even understanding of the consiquences of going full nuclear. The US likely wouldn't surive the retaliation but neither would anyone else... except New Zealand because everyone forgets them so hard they even get left off maps.
